A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR (www.Spy-Coins.com) OLD SCHOOL SPY GEAR MEETS HIGH TECH STORAGE MEDIA New Hollow Spy Coins Will Encapsulate the Micro SD Memory Card A local firm (Dereu Manufacturing & Design) has brought back the Cold War hollow spy coin with a new twist. Back in the days of the Cold War, hollow coins were used to transfer and hide secret messages and microfilms. While the data holding capacity of a small microfilm was very generous, it holds no candle to micro memory cards available today. A Micro SD Memory card has capacities of up to 16 GB of data. The Dereu Manufacturing Company produces these hollow coins in their own shop in Missouri, one at a time using manual metal working machinery. When assembled, these coins are absolutely indistinguishable from a solid coin to the naked eye. They can be safely handled without danger of separation, and a special tool is included to take them apart. With this marriage of old and new technology, the bearer of one of these hollow coins can conceal in his pocket change enough government, corporate or personal data to fill several hundred volumes, and carry this data unfettered through airports and across International borders. The complete line of these items can be found at www.Spy-Coins.com. (Editors Note: Enter the Code Word "powers" without the quotes and readers of The Cold War Times will receive a 20% discount on any order.) Cold War Times May 2010 Page 2 of 47 THE COLD WAR MUSEUM Spring / Summer Update 2010 By Francis Gary Powers, Jr. Over the past decade, the Cold War Museum has made great strides in honoring Cold War veterans and preserving Cold War history. I am pleased to report that The Cold War Museum has signed a lease with Vint Hill Economic Development Authority (EDA) for use of 4000 sq ft of storage and exhibit space 40 miles from Washington, DC. Vint Hill EDA and the Fauquier County Industrial Development Authority will contribute a total of $185,000 towards building restoration. In addition, Studio Ammons (www.studioammons.com) will provide $70,000 in-kind donation of architectural and design services for our interior exhibits and displays. However, we need to continue with our fundraising efforts in order to be within budget for the museum build out. Now is the time I truly need your help and support to make sure that we are debt free when we open our new facility. The Cold War Museum continues to work with the Diefenbunker Museum in Ottawa, Canada, the Atomic Bunker in Harnekop, Germany, and the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC to display some of its artifacts until the Vint Hill site is ready. The mobile exhibit on the U-2 Incident, the “Spies of Washington Tour,” and related educational activities continue to generate interest and support. The Virginia Historical Society (www.vahistorical.org) in Richmond, Virginia will host the U-2 exhibit January through May 2010. The EAA Museum (www.eaa.org) in Oshkosh, WI will host the exhibit between June and August 2010. Dates are now being scheduled for the fall 2010 and beyond. The educational Spy Tour of Washington (www.spytour.com) is booking group tours online. The Cold War Museum has implemented a yearlong fundraiser. When you dine at any Glory Days Grill in the Washington metropolitan area, the restaurant will contribute 10% of your total food purchases to The Cold War Museum. Bring your neighbors, friends, and relatives, because the 10% applies to the total food bill. Ask your server for a copy of your check (not credit card receipt) and mail it to the museum. The Cold War Museum continues to expand its efforts through the creation of Museum Chapters staffed by volunteers. Our most recent chapter, The Cold War Museum California (www.calcoldwar.org) is now up and running in Marysville, California, 45 miles North of Sacramento, near Beale Air Force Base home of the U-2 Spy Plane. Visit www.coldwar.org/museum/museum_chapters.html for additional information. The Cold War Museum recently stepped into the “social networking age” and created The Facebook Cold War Museum Group (FBCWMG). Cold War Times May 2010 Page 3 of

  • DCS: Su-27 Flanker Flight Manual
    [SU-27] DCS DCS: Su-27 Flanker Eagle Dynamics i Flight Manual DCS [SU-27] DCS: Su-27 for DCS World The Su-27, NATO codename Flanker, is one of the pillars of modern-day Russian combat aviation. Built to counter the American F-15 Eagle, the Flanker is a twin-engine, supersonic, highly manoeuvrable air superiority fighter. The Flanker is equally capable of engaging targets well beyond visual range as it is in a dogfight given its amazing slow speed and high angle attack manoeuvrability. Using its radar and stealthy infrared search and track system, the Flanker can employ a wide array of radar and infrared guided missiles. The Flanker also includes a helmet-mounted sight that allows you to simply look at a target to lock it up! In addition to its powerful air-to-air capabilities, the Flanker can also be armed with bombs and unguided rockets to fulfil a secondary ground attack role. Su-27 for DCS World focuses on ease of use without complicated cockpit interaction, significantly reducing the learning curve. As such, Su-27 for DCS World features keyboard and joystick cockpit commands with a focus on the most mission critical of cockpit systems.

As a result, there is a tension felt when this claim is made at the beginning of a text with which a reader is unfamiliar, leading to the risk of assuming which parts of the narrative are true and which were fabricated. This thesis will explore several texts and works of narrative art which bare the markings of being “based on a true story,” but which challenge the reader to think critically when comparing their contents to verifiable sources.

  • Vanishing Cosmonauts -- with Photos
    Cosmonauts Who Weren’t There James Oberg June 24 2012 [illustrations added] In the years between the end of the Apollo program (1975) and the first orbital flights of the space shuttle (1981), when I was on the Mission Control Center team in Houston preparing for the first launch of ‘Columbia’, one of my additional duties was to provide background briefings for new personnel there. I found that one particular set of “space history” slides made one audience especially nervous. It wasn’t what the slides showed, but rather, what they did NOT show. The pictures were of groups of Russian cosmonauts, smiling confidently for the cameras. But what made the audience laugh -- at first -- was that subsequent versions of the very same group photographs had gaps. Faces clearly seen in the first versions had vanished to the retoucher’s airbrush. My most nervous audience was the new ‘space shuttle astronaut selection’, 35 men and women chosen in 1978 to supplement the two dozen Apollo veterans and as-yet unflown rookies from that era. They were sobered to realize the apparent implication of the forged Russian cosmonaut photographs -- if a space trainee screwed up, he (or she) could just disappear. Now, I’m not making this up. To prevent that from ever happening to themselves, they all vowed not to screw up. As an added defense to photo erasure, they joked, in any group photo sessions they would entwine their arms very tightly with each other. And it really was funny, after all. Here were clumsy Soviet propagandists obviously trying to conceal the existence of several individuals who had been members of their first cosmonaut teams.

  • All Sides Claim Victory in 1996 Gubernatorial Elections
    ALL SIDES CLAIM VICTORY IN 1996 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS Although they did not receive nearly as much international attention as the July presidential election, the 48 Russian regional elections held between 1 September and 5 January were closely watched by Russian politicians and commentators. Gubernatorial elections were held in 45 oblasts, krais, and autonomous okrugs, forcing leaders appointed by President Boris Yeltsin to face the voters. Three ethnic republics also elected top executives. Both the Kremlin and opposition leaders have portrayed the elections as a success, but many new governors have pledged to use their mandates to benefit their own regions, and it is difficult to predict where their primary loyalties will lie. Who are the new governors? Of the 48 incumbent regional leaders who faced elections in 1996, 20 held on to their jobs and 24 were defeated. Another three continue to serve pending repeat elections in their regions, and Tyumen Governor Leonid Roketskii will contest a runoff on 12 January. (A complete list of election results is attached to this issue of the Russian Regional Report.) Fifteen of the 24 new governors were elected mainly with the backing of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) and its left-wing umbrella movement, the Popular-Patriotic Union of Russia (NPSR). Of the successful Communist-backed candidates, seven were chairmen of regional or local legislatures immediately before being elected governor (Krasnodar and Altai krais and Voronezh, Volgograd, Kaluga, Vladimir, and Kurgan oblasts). Four others were State Duma deputies (Kirov, Bryansk, and Chelyabinsk oblasts and Stavropol Krai), and one (Ryazan) worked in the parliament's Audit Chamber.

Papieren Tijger, Breda 2006 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/oltm003memo20_01/colofon.php © 2013 dbnl / Willem Oltmans Stichting 1 Leningrad 15 oktober 1975 Hotel de l'Europe Genia Makarova, mijn tolk, en ik werden vanmorgen op het station afgehaald door Valéry Balynov van het plaatselijke APN-kantoor.1 Hij droeg deze keer een corduroypet en zag er als altijd bleek en verpieterd uit. De muziek die over de perrons schalde was weer zo luid dat we elkaar moesten toeschreeuwen. We waren in de Rode Pijl Express door een corpulente conductrice ruw gewekt. Ze kwakte een pot thee neer in mijn slaapcabine - ik zorg altijd dat ik een slaapplaats alleen heb - en zette de radio keihard aan om zeker te zijn dat ik op zou staan om het geluid de nek om te draaien. Onze eerste ontmoeting was met de architect ir. Yuri Vasiliev, die nadere bijzonderheden verschafte over de universiteitsstad die op 45 kilometer afstand van hier wordt gebouwd. Hij werd bijgestaan door professor Igor Famin en een andere architect Vladimir Maslov, die alle maar gewenste details invulden. Ik vroeg professor Famin of er ook met de psychologie van toekomstige studentengeneraties rekening werd gehouden bij het ontwerpen van een universiteitsstad. ‘Alle architecten zijn ook een beetje psycholoog,’ antwoordde hij. ‘Ik ben kunstenaar,’ viel architect Maslov in de rede. ‘Veel mensen hebben geen belangstelling voor psychologie.’ ‘Dat is juist zo jammer,’ zei ik, ‘want de psyche is misschien wel het kernpunt waar alles om draait. Kunt u de betekenis van een traan in een oog uitleggen?’ ‘Dat is een filosofische vraag en waarom zouden wij die stellen wanneer we een traan niet kunnen verklaren,’ kwam als antwoord.

    Introduction “As I fly through the air at speeds of sound, Whilst shattering through clouds new mirth I have found, Like a new way of life for a boy who is lost Wants to be a hero in glory but unsure of the cost. Civilian life, you know, was just no fun, Now what I have as I wanted, is my plane and my gun Through all the briefings, the odds were for me, I thought this would just be another cake piece. Suddenly, from nowhere, a MiG on my six, I flicked with the controls, this was not as I fixed. He fires his missile, no time to fret, I fire my countermeasures, my palms covered with sweat. He misses, a momentary win, and as just a little mock, I try to turn around him and let my cannon do the talk. But, through all the gunfire, his bullet hits my wing, As I fall to the ground, I hear my ear ring As if t’were God saying as I triggered the self eject, “Yes, my son, this is the art of war, don’t deject.” -Venkat Krishnaraj All through this book, we would be running along facts enveloping the current air forces, air planes, fighters and missiles. “Complete Air Dominance-A flight of a lifetime” explains the various aspects of air-forces from the strategic as well as the technical point of view. It covers almost the entire spectrum: right from the evolution of the first airplane to a sneak peek of the near future. This book explains the role of each airplane within the airforce, the strategic advantages and disadvantages associated with each plane.
